Inhaltsangabe

Sir Isaac Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and His System of the World is a groundbreaking work in the field of physics and mathematics. Originally published in 1687, this book outlines Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation, which revolutionized our understanding of the physical world. The book is divided into three sections: the first discusses the laws of motion and their applications, the second deals with the principles of universal gravitation, and the third explores the application of these principles to the behavior of the solar system. In the first section, Newton introduces his three laws of motion, which describe how objects move and interact with each other. He also discusses the concept of force and how it affects motion. In the second section, Newton explains his law of universal gravitation, which states that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force that is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them. He demonstrates how this law can be used to explain the motion of planets and other celestial bodies. In the third section, Newton applies his laws of motion and universal gravitation to the behavior of the solar system. He explains the orbits of the planets, the precession of the equinoxes, and the tides. Overall, Sir Isaac Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and His System of the World is a seminal work that laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science and the development of our understanding of the natural world.1686. Translated into English by Andrew Motte in 1729, this book is a complete volume of Newton's mathematical principles relating to natural philosophy and his system of the world. Newton, one of the most brilliant scientists and thinkers of all time, presents his theories, formulas and thoughts. Included are chapters relative to the motion of bodies; motion of bodies in resisting mediums; and system of the world in mathematical treatment; a section on axioms or laws of motion, and definitions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
